which he made some short flights at Liverpool recently, as recorded in
FLIGHT last week. (See also p. 407.)from

Dear Mr Cooper
I have just noticed you are also looking for a photograph of Graham Gilmour. This is the one I have
of him.
I do not know much about Graham Gilmour except the 1911 Boat Race incident (held on 1st April
coincidentally) and which others were also involved in - namely, Claude Grahame-White, C. C. Paterson, P. Prier,Clement Greswell, Gustav Hamel and Mr. Hubert (who all thought it would be great fun to
watch the Boat Race from the air) though none of these were
so severely reprimanded as Mr. Gilmour who decided to entertain the crowds by flying low over the Oxford-Cambridge crews, annoying
officials no end in the process.
Graham Gilmour was killed on 17th February 1912.
Best wishes,
Catherine
